Van den Berg–Caffarelli–Lin hexagonal conjecture for minimal partitions
Van den Berg–Caffarelli–Lin hexagonal conjecture for minimal partitions
Let be a bounded planar domain of area , let denote the minimal energy of a -partition of , and let be the regular hexagon of area . Van den Berg–Caffarelli–Lin hexagonal conjecture.
Hexagonal tilings give the corresponding upper bound, but equality with the hexagonal value is not known in general; the conjecture predicts the asymptotic optimality of regular hexagonal cells.
